SUMMARY:A History of Russian Jewry: Where we came from and why? - Rabbi Howard Shub
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nFor many Jews in North America\, our roots trace back to the Russian Empire. Our language\, Ashkenazi culture\, traditions\, and cuisine reflect centuries of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The influence of Russian Jewry also helped shape the early pioneers of modern Israel. This course explores the history of Russian Jewry and its enduring impact on Jewish identity\, culture\, and life today.\n\nZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\nRabbi Howard Shub is a first-generation Canadian Jew born in Toronto.  Raised in a traditional Jewish home where Yiddish was spoken as easily as English\, his Jewish identity was nurtured from an early age through family\, school\, and a Labour Zionist summer camp.He earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in New York and later completed an M.A. in Contemporary Jewish Studies\, specialising in modern Jewish history\, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After several years in Israel\, he spent five years in Australia; first as Hillel Director in Melbourne\, and then in an unexpected role as a probation and parole officer working in a maximum security prison. Returning to North America\, Rabbi Howard pursued his true calling and was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York in 1988. For nearly 40 years\, he served as a congregational rabbi\, retiring in June 2023\, only to return to a part-time pulpit and\, most recently\, as interim rabbi of the synagogue where he served for 23 years. He continues to teach Jewish topics across Florida and serves as mashgiach (kosher supervisor) at the only kosher deli in the area. \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:A Study of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Rabbi Dr. Leon Weissberg
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin Rabbi Weisberg in six sessions to examine the 24 chapters\, or protocols\, which are allegedly minutes from meetings of Jewish leaders describing their “secret plans” to rule the world by manipulating the economy\, controlling the media\, and fostering religious conflict.

SUMMARY:Sages of The Talmud - Ed Sopher
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin B’nai Torah past president\, Ed Sopher for this six-week course about the Sages of the Talmud. We have all heard stories from the Talmud in sermons or in various classes. But usually the stories told are the “Cliff Notes” versions – many of the details have been left out. In this class we will dive into the full text of several of the most famous Talmudic stories and get a better sense of the Rabbis who helped shape the Jewish law we practice today.\n\nIN-PERSON at B’nai Torah Congregation and on Zoom\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Book of Job - Rabbi Howard Shub
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nWhy do bad things happen to good people? That timeless question\, made famous by Rabbi Harold Kushner’s best-selling book\, has challenged humanity for centuries. How do we relate to God during times of personal or national tragedy? How do we reconcile our belief in a loving and compassionate God with suffering that seems to defy our understanding? And where does Satan fit into this picture? The Book of Job explores these enduring questions.\n\nZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n\nRabbi Howard Shub is a first-generation Canadian Jew born in Toronto.  Raised in a traditional Jewish home where Yiddish was spoken as easily as English\, his Jewish identity was nurtured from an early age through family\, school\, and a Labour Zionist summer camp.He earned his undergraduate degree from Yeshiva University in New York and later completed an M.A. in Contemporary Jewish Studies\, specialising in modern Jewish history\, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

SUMMARY:Age-ing to Sage-ing - Rabbi Michael Schorin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nBack when he turned 60 years old\, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (z’l) became depressed.

After much introspection\, discussions with colleagues and exploration\, he came up with a system to help each of us harvest the wisdom we have gained from our years of life. In this four part class\, we will learn his methodology\, practice some exercises and open ourselves to reconsidering the blessings we have received and that we want to transmit.\n\nIN-PERSON AT B’NAI TORAH CONGREGATION & ON ZOOM\nFREE for B’nai Torah members | $36 for guests \n\nClick here to register\n \n  \n​ \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
